However, this morning I found a new way to kill them. A new way which enables them to DIE and me to not get NEAR them.
Extra firm hold hairspray.
That’s right. As I was doing my makeup this morning in the bathroom a little fucking jumping spider decides that my mirror is a good place to hang out on! WTF? Does he not see me there trying to do my makeup? What kind of asshole spider tries to invade my space like that!?!? So I promptly grabbed my hairspray and went. to. town. That shit makes them fall so fast you’d think they were wasted off Bacardi. So anyway, I sprayed him and watched for a bit. It didn’t instantly kill him. Instead it fully hampered his ability to move about. This made me feel good b/c I knew he wouldn’t be jumping around on me anytime soon so I proceeded on with my makeup. After he seemed to be shaking it off a bit I sprayed him again. This time he seemed “stuck” in place and then finally he dropped from his little corner perch on the wall to the floor, shriveled up and DIED! Yay! Success!
So for any of you spider haters, like me, now you know the secret… Extra firm hold hairspray will do the trick. I used Pantene but I’m sure any ol’ brand will work just as well.
That’s right.
Eat shit spiders.
The exterminator’s wife is still here and badass as ever.

I learned this little trick when I had my first house and no man around to speak of...
I swear the spider population sent out a memo about me--Visit her house, it's funny as s*it to see her jump around and scream... she will never be brave enough to kill you.
When I started dating the hubs he wondered why I kept a can of hairspray in the garage--b/c I'm a dork/wuss, that's why.
ewww!!! i have learned that hairspray also works to kill centipedes but you need to spray a lot to kill those fuckers.
lol
we have so many spiders that I have to have a monthly service to spray outside....I don't F with black widows!
HE'S NOT DEAD! He's just held firmly in place. A little humidity and he'll be back on his eight feet again. Seeking revenge.
Yeah...you defiantly rock!
bahaha!!! i have used windex, bleach -- anything handy. this is a new trick though. i almost can't wait to use it! almost!
I do NOT like spiders but the joy you took in killing it...LOL...ALMOST makes me feel bad for the poor little jumping bean. LOL I said almost. I've gotten pretty used to finding a flat-bottomed shoe and whacking them, even in creases I can get 'em. I'm not fond of it though, and like you, wish my husband would be around for each and every one of their appearances. I screamed about a frog that found its way into our garage this past weekend. I'm blog hopping today...happy Tuesday!
We have fruit flies...
You win.
BADASS! Ohhhh dont mess. You are like Dog the Bounty Hunters Wife...except totally gorgeous.
Fucking HATE creatures like that.
I hate spiders!! I freak out everytime I see them. thanks for the tip on the hairspray! ;)
I do not do spiders. Way to be you big bad killin' machine!
I CANNOT do spiders! I can't. When I lived with my ex, I had a song I would sing when I made him kill spiders. He loved it, I'm suuuuure.
:)
Wow. Brandon and I are seriously laughing our asses off right now, I had to read this one to him. I am proud to call you family!
